Description

Google Tag Manager extension for Magento

With Google Tag Manager extension for Magento you can add tags without any programming skills. This extension is designed for seamless integration of Google Tag Manager with Magento web stores. Google Tag Manager is a free tool for managing marketing activities and tracking tags on your site. You can call it 'tags', but not those which are used to tag products and blog posts. In this case, we tag website visitors.

A growing need to measure marketing data in more flexible way and an ability to track website modifications has formed made the tag management concept.

Google Tag Manager — A multi-purpose tool

Tags are code snippets which can be added to a web page code. They are used to collect data for further analysis by 3rd-party services like Google Analytics (Universal Analytics), Google Adwords, Facebook Pixel, Conversion Tracking for Twitter, etc. Tags can be also used for remarketing tracking transactions and so on.

All data is being sent to Google Tag Manager service by our extension. The rest is performed by the service (for example, include other services and send data to them). It is based on the triggers you can set up.

Compatibility with other Magento extensions

Google Tag Manager extension for Magento is compatible with all built-in Magento modules.
It is also compatible with our Full Page Cache extension. To make a compatibility with 3rd-party Full Page Cache extension you need to exclude 'po_gtm_js' block from caching.
There would be a necessity to make a compatibility with 3rd-party checkout extensions. Please contact our support for help. It will be free.

I was looking for GTM extension which would be easy to work with. I tried 3 extensions, and Potata won the competition. Bravo!
